13So BoazH1162 tookH3947 RuthH7327, and she becameH1961 his wifeH802, and he wentH935 in to her. And 1the LordH3068 2enabledH5414 her to conceiveH2032, and she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121. 14Then the 3womenH802 saidH559 to NaomiH5281, “BlessedH1288 is the LordH3068 whoH834 has not leftH7673 you withoutH7673 a 4redeemerH1350 todayH3117, and may his nameH8034 5becomeH7121 famousH7121 in IsraelH3478. 15May he also be to you a restorerH7725 of lifeH5315 and a sustainerH3557 of your oldH7872 ageH7872; for your daughter-in-lawH3618, whoH834 lovesH157 you 67and is betterH2896 to you thanH4480 sevenH7651 sonsH1121, has givenH3205 birthH3205 to him.” 16Then NaomiH5281 tookH3947 the childH3206 8and laidH7896 him in her lapH2436, and becameH1961 his nurseH539. 17The neighborH7934 womenH7934 gaveH7121 him a nameH8034, sayingH559, “A sonH1121 has been bornH3205 to NaomiH5281!” So they namedH7121H8034 him ObedH5744.
